    I'd give everyone the benefit of the doubt until they actually say or do something
    outrageous, as you say DC has always come across as a pleasant, well grounded
    bloke, I can't see him having any outlandish views. :)

    did Smirnoff pay to be featured in SF? was it even in SF?
  • MrZarebaMrZareba Krakow, PolandPosts: 1,775MI6 Agent
    No, Smirnoff was just featured in both CR and QoS, in Skyfall there was no brand of vodka on screen as far as I remember.

    Belvedere announced on their fanpage that only 100 MI6 edition bottles will be available, but not in stores. They will either be sold on charity auctions or given to the biggest fans of Agent 007.

    Any idea what the latter means? O.o

    E-mails found among the documents recently stolen from Sony by hackers have revealed what looks to be concept art for an unannounced smartphone. "The XPERIA Z Fourth Generation", was pitched by Sony executives for product placements in SPECTRE. The executives haggle over pricing for the placement of the phone, questioning whether they should pay the full $5 million for star Daniel Craig to use the phone, or settle for Ben Wishaw's much cheaper "Q" to show it off.

    It may be the XPERIA Z4 Compact that will make the cut, becuse the Z4 is due to be released in Jan/Feb 2015, whereas the Compact is planned to be released in the second Q2015 so I hope that's the case. The XPERIA Z compacts truly have no competitors on the market.

    It's amazing the amount of "deals" that have to be negotiated
    Before Bond, or anyone uses something , or be seen in something
    For a film, these days. :D

    Why did they drop Smirnoff for Belvedere?

    Was Smirnoff even in Skyfall??

    Guess its all about the highest bidder anyhow

    Indeed, the screen 007 isn't too picky when it comes to vodka. In 2002 Finlandia won the bid, only to be replaced by Smirnoff again in 2006.

    so its a bidding war?
  • welshboy78welshboy78 Posts: 10,320MI6 Agent
    Who knows. I guess certainly possible since it covers a large % of the budget though imagine EON has some standards

    E.g. Not Bond eating a Big Mac (though Heineken could be deemed similar lol)

  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    I liked the fact in SF Bond was shown drinking Heineken, when
    He'd let his standards drop and was sluming it. Sort of Bond's
    Gap year. ;) :D

    Product placement has been in the series for a while. I don't really mind so long as its not too conspicuous.

    Yeah - typically the media didn't kind of understand that and had daft headlines claiming it was now his main tipple of choice!!!

    Wonder if he sips on a beer in SPECTRE

    We cannot have Bond lowering his standards. It will have a bad influence on other members of the MI6 staff. :D

    Did you notice Tanner drinking the Heineken? Not easy to spot, I did not notice at first, only after I read about it afterwards.

    Oh, I spotted that one straight away. :)) I wonder as well as
    Appearing on film would Craig, Kinnear and the rest get a few
    Free crates of the stuff , for their own use ? :D

    An official announcement from Arsenal Firearms that their brand new product - the AF211 Dueller Prismatic - was selected to be one of the key weapons featured in SPECTRE.

    Awww crap!

    I was so happy when QoS and SF showed Bond preferring whisky, like his literary counterpart. Now we're getting this "Bond prefers Vodka Martinis" crap again! X-( Let it be known, so that there is no mistakes about it: Statistically, In the movies, by far the numero uno beverage of James Bond is champagne. Literary Bond on the other hand drinks whisk(e)y, and only after that champagne.

    Well, literary Bond also put Benzedrine in his champagne, so let's not judge the filmmakers too harshly for deviating...
  • The Domino EffectThe Domino Effect Posts: 3,638MI6 Agent
    Benzedrine: the official amphetamine of Bond.

    Now that would make a great product placement!

    Personally I would have preferred Hinx to have a 'normal' firearm. He's already bigger, taller, has a flashier car. Now he has a double barrelled pistol. Don't get me wrong, I think Hinx looks great, but we get the point! Enough already.

    Yes, I'm with you on this - starting to get "Zao" vibes, which is not good...

    Since this is a thread about product placement, I don't think this is a spoiler alert to let you all know that you all might want to purchase a Heineken bottle to have in your prop collection for SPECTRE...who knows, it might have a more prominent "role" this time...
  • MrZarebaMrZareba Krakow, PolandPosts: 1,775MI6 Agent
    What, will Bond use it to knock somebody's head off? :D
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    In a rough bar he has to " Glass" someone with one ! ;) :D
